American Idol is like an American version of the show X factor, Simon Cowell is the main judge in both and they are both basically talent shows that concentrate on singing talent.

The judges are Simon Cowell who is well known for being harsh and sarcastic to the less talented. Paula Abdul, who I think is one of the sweetest judges ever to be on the show and Randy Jackson and new host Kara DioGuardi who I think is quite opinionated and a bit annoying.

The show has the auditions for the first few weeks of episodes, these can be really funny in parts when people beleive they can sing even though they sound terrible, they can also be quite interesting as well, there is the odd sob story about people who have had bad experiances in life and are now using the show to try and better their lifes, and then there is of course the talented people who can sing and get voted to stay by the judges and go on to the next stage of the competition. The auditions are my favourite part of this show and shows alike it like Xfactor.

Then there is more auditions and sing work shops until the 100's of contestants are lowered to around 12-13 people, which is when the singing contest becomes more intense as not only do the judges have a say in who stays and goes, the voting public now also have a chance to have their say.

Each week another person out of the remaining finalists is voted off until there is only one American Idol, previous American Idols include Kelly Clarkson and David Cook. The winner is given a recording contract and has the chance to start a career in the music business, as long as they are managed properly, Kelly Clarkson is the most sucessful of all winners of the show in my opinion.

This show is great viewing if you like shows similar to it, though it can get annoying some times, there are some great talents uncovered on this show, I think that if you like Xfactor, youll also enjoy American Idol so you may think its worth a watch.
